This is just straight-up brutal 🙏🙏🙏

🤣🤣🤣

Not a single word about how those Građanski fans are playing? The Mexicans are just crying all over the media 🤣 🤣

Mods, are you guys actually going to do something about this troll or what?

Jesse Doyle3 said:If you’re just looking at this on a surface level, maybe you’ve got a point. But if we're playing by those rules, Hajduk probably has more registered members living in Chicago right now than Dinamo does. Does that suddenly make Chicago an Hajduk city too?
Or does it actually mean that Dinamo isn't even functioning as a real club anymore, which is why its fans and supporters couldn't care less about membership numbers?

As for Pittsburgh, you'll find out pretty damn soon who really owns that territory.

Signed. Opening the association ☕

Tony Valcic is a constant threat on the attack, honestly, the guy hasn't played center in five years 🤣 🤣
Are you seriously trolling us right now? Respect to you, I guess 🙏 🙏

Indianapolis should be taking down Vardar 🤣 🤣 🤣
What a ridiculous take 🙏

Dog hunters 🤣 🤣
I seriously can't wait for the MLS season to finally kick off 🤣

Seriously, what are you on, man? You’ve gotta be tripping... 🤔

Joseph Kern5 said:It all comes down to popularity metrics. If we go by that logic, should the NBA be considered the fourth strongest league in the world? Right behind the NFL, France, and Spain? It just doesn't hold up because the media coverage isn't on a global scale like that.

Look, the NFL is clearly number one, but in my book, the NBA follows right on its heels, then France is a step below the NBA, and Spain is way, way down the list.

Joseph Kern5 said:I can't catch every single game. I try to tune into the UEFA Champions League, but man, keeping up with three different major leagues across the continent plus the NBA is just too much to track.

Are you following the NBA? I mean, generally speaking, for everyone reading this thread here.

Someone mentioned earlier how arrogant American athletes and fans can be. But today, while skiing in Stockholm, I saw an ad for "Stockholm - The Capital of Scandinavia." It completely ignores Oslo, Helsinki, and Copenhagen—even though Copenhagen isn't technically on the peninsula, it’s the same vibe as the people in those places, or even Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Honestly, plenty of nations across the globe have that same sense of arrogance.

I follow it. Why wouldn't I?

Joseph Kern5 said:Mahe plays left wing, whereas Narcisse and Karabatić are playing Center Back. The way they run things over there, anyone can step into those roles. Abalo has really slowed down during this World Championship. He just doesn't have that explosive two-meter burst or those lightning-fast fast breaks anymore.

Maybe try actually watching some handball outside of these two specific weeks every year, and then maybe you won't look so ridiculous.
Mahe plays center at Flensburg; though, to be fair, they were forced to slot him in there after Lauge got injured, leaving Mogensen as the only viable option (until our young talent Ivan Horvat was brought in). He played center there, and he’s doing it now at the tournament—I can't recall the exact game, but I think it was against Brazil. He can handle the center position; sure, he isn't performing at a world-class level like Karabatić, but let's be honest, who on the planet actually can? 🤷

As for Abalo, back when he was running wild, everyone was saying he was doing more harm than good for the squad, and that was absolutely the truth. Now that he's finally calmed down, suddenly it's like he's not good enough either. 🤣 🤣
They had to smiriti him, because he used to single-handedly wreck games just by trying to be too clever for his own good, and the team simply doesn't need that nonsense.

neonviper8 said:So how is it 1.74 on Nottingham then?
That’s exactly what you should be asking.

Based on what you just wrote, the odds should realistically be sitting around 1.40 - 1.50 max.

Look, when you stumble upon odds at some Betting House that are higher than what you think the actual probability should be, that’s what we call 'value.' That is exactly what you bet on—there's honestly no other way to make money. There's nothing to overthink here; if your intel is solid, you just load up on a Type 1 win or even take the handicap.

The news networks are claiming:
There is absolutely no way Karabatic is stepping aside just yet. He’ll probably still suit up for two or three massive games. And honestly, they're going to dominate because their depth is insane—they basically have three elite players for every single spot on the roster.

LB - Nyokas, N'Guessan, Accambray

RB - Dipanda, porta, Remili Jos

The real issue is they still don't have a top-tier CB who can actually step up and fill the void left by Karabatic and Narcisse.

mah will be playing😉

Samuel Baker3 said:Serdarušić basically created a monster back in 2006. In just one year after arriving in Kiel, Karabatić ascended to become the best handball player on the planet.

It’s absolutely no coincidence that since 2006, the French have been the undisputed kings of global handball.

Sure, the French have incredible talent and arguably the greatest goalkeeper to ever step on a court, but everything—everything!—always seemed to revolve around him.

I still vividly remember how everyone tore into Nok when he dared to claim Karabatić was a superior player to Balić. Honestly, if he weren't playing under Nok today, he’d probably end up looking like a complete wreck, much like those players in Mexico.

This. 👍Exactly this. 👍👍

Joseph Kern5 said:Joanne is going to come back. She's only 31.😁
We’re going to see Afgour, Lamon, Emonet, M'Tima, Kounkoud, Kempf, Dourte, Belhacene, Arthur Anquetil, Causse, Bingo, Grebille, Bonnefond, and Faustin... they have at least three or four solid guys ready to step up.

And then you've got Mah, Porta, Remili, Fabregas, and Mem already in the mix... honestly, anyone who thinks this is the "end" for the Frenchmen just because Narcisse and Omeyer are moving on is being completely delusional.

Honestly, I think after this win we could actually go all the way because our confidence is through the roof, but let’s take a realistic look at this upcoming matchup. We took the last two head-to-head meetings back in 2016 when they were running basically the exact same roster they have now, though we were a bit stronger then. Steve led us through the Olympic qualifiers and put up some insane defensive numbers, but we can't count on that kind of heroics right now. I’m certain we’ll walk away with a 5-1 record against them; those two games didn't look bad, but back then we had Copland playing half the time for Sagosen, not Stepancic or Sheb—even if Sheb definitely prefers playing more central. The make-or-break factor will be our transition defense, because yesterday's first half against the Spaniards was absolutely pathetic, and the Norwegians are an even faster squad with a much stronger second wave than the Spaniards. I really can't afford to see Bergerud lose his cool here; we failed to step up against Spain, and I truly hope we don't repeat that mistake now. They aren't quite as big or tall, so we should find some breathing room on offense, but defensively, we have to shut down that machine of theirs that just relentlessly attacks from every single angle. If we can stifle their flow with a 5-1 setup and actually run back on defense, we'll have done half the work already.

Look, everyone at this tournament is complaining about the officiating.🤣
But honestly? They aren't wrong—the officiating has been absolutely pathetic across the board.🤦
